Assuming your talking about the following:

http://neatwebstuff.com/hb/?hop=abcstuff

I went through the list of what it's supposed to give you... and it is not going to give you anything you cant find just by using a bit of time searching the net... and... then it's free! I'd take the liberty of calling it somewhat of a rip-off. Try this link instead:

http://www.hummingbirds.net/

- any info about hummingbirds of the US/Canada you can't find on that link... could (and would) be answered just by asking the question here on BirdForum.

Thumbs down

A book about how to attract hummingbirds to your house, eh? I wouldn't mind betting that you could learn everything you need to know about that from Birdforum members. No need to fork out $17.77!

Here's the link by the way: http://neatwebstuff.com/hb/?hop=galib
No idea whether it's a scam or not, but if I was going to fork out the money being asked here I would certainly want a book without the grammatical errors, poor proofreading and amateur formatting apparent in the advertisement.

It's a good job I know there's no chance of me attracting hummingbirds to my UK garden - there's nothing on the page to tell me.

Hi Rb... and welcome to Birdforum from the Moderators and Staff.
I took the liberty of merging your two Threads and hopefully you'll get more answers to your query.
